With this cold weather that we had been having for weeks now, my baby had catch cold and cough. I gave her medicine but my heart breaks everytime she coughs or congested because she is still learning how to spit when she coughs etc. I know the heater makes the nose more stuffy...so i have open containers of water all over the house to lessen the humidity. I was thinking of buying a humidifier. I also massage her with Vicks like what my mom used to do for me. But i know, every parent has its own special way of easing discomfort for their children...care to share them here?

I use a johnson and johnson menthal bath liquid that you pour into the bath and make sure I am using the correct dosage of medicine (not what the bottle says) by going to askdrsears dot come and looking it up in the medicine cabinet link. I also clean out there nose with the infant toddler nose can from Walgreens that is an aresol mist. I think the thing that helps the most is the bath and correct dosage though.

These are great suggestions Jen. I haven't been giving her a bath just wipe her up coz it might worsen her cold...but I will try that and let my husband pick up some of that johnson stuff. I just clean up her nose with that baby suction thing. Thank you very much for sharing this.
